Classes

For information on booking classes, tours, or workshops please contact our Gallery Educator, Twyla Exner (educator@mannartgallery.ca). We provide interpretive tours of our current exhibition programming including art/craft related projects for children, youth, and adults year round. 

Over 1000 students participate in school tours each year. Tours feature critical discussion of the artwork and a hands-on art activity, which allows the students to apply what was discussed and learned how to create an artwork of their own.

Each season the MAG develops a newsletter in the form of a Teacher’s Guide which explains the current exhibits and the planned student art activity. In addition, there are supplementary activities to build upon the ideas expressed by the art exhibitions and during the tours, with emphasis on cross-curriculum.

General Classes for Students
